Birthdays - cuz we're random like that...

I would have said, “cuz that’s how we roll”, but sometimes that phrase makes my eye twitch.

But really… no one does goofy birthdays like our family.

In one random bit of trivia, my sister and I are two weeks (and a few years) apart… and we switched birthdays. I was born a couple of weeks late, she was born a couple of weeks early.

(And I wonder why she’s Mom’s favorite?)

Hence, we have experienced the oft-bemoaned SHARED BIRTHDAY.

But this year? We had a blast sharing it.

We started off the day with Mr. Daddy taking kiddie duty so Mom could whisk us away to lunch. And I’d show you pictures, except that I couldn’t keep my hands off my food long enough to snap one. Anyone have a recipe for tacos el pastor? (I’m not kidding, not even a little bit)

OH man I want to go bowling so bad.. I used to love it and it is so expensive around here which kind of puts a cap on it for us as a family of 5.. looks like ya'll had a blast and happy birthday to both of you hun

Oh. My. Goodness!!!!!!!! The mullet pictures are HILARIOUS! Your birthdays being so close sounds like it would have been so annoying as a kid in selfish kid sort of way (or maybe that's just me?), but SO much fun as an adult... that is cool. :-)

I hear ya on the bowling score. The only time I've scored "close" to 100 was when I was pregnant, which is really really weird, because who gets better at bowling when they're pregnant, especially when they can't break 60 best case scenario without being pregnant? Apparently me, and my husband's explanation for this is that I only bowl well when I have his child in my womb... because he is an excellent bowler. Weird.

Hey!! This:In one random bit of trivia, my sister and I are two weeks (and a few years) apart… and we switched birthdays. I was born a couple of weeks late, she was born a couple of weeks early.Cannot be real. My sister and I are two weeks apart and a couple years lol. Also switched due dates, I was born on her due date and she was born on mine. Umm, really are we so much alike. I love all of the photos and was confused about the cousin pic for a minute haha, I totally thought you guys had us beat in redneckness. Yes I just made that up ;)

Shared birthdays can really be a lot of fun! My granddaughter, son-in-law and I all share ours in the month of March. We hadn't really tried adding all our candles together - mostly 'cause just mine would set the place on fire. Happy B-Day to both of you!Juanita

My oldest sister and I are 11 months apart because my debut was six weeks early, so every year she reminds me on my birthday that we are the same age, and I have to wait two weeks before I can remind her that she is older than me. She and I often had shared birthday parties when we were kids. Wish we lived close enough to do that now. We have the same kind of silly, fun family.Happy Birthday to you and your sis!
